10 more days

In about 10 days we will find out if it is going to be a boy or a girl, I think it is a boy, don't ask me why, but it is just this feeling I have, but of course I could be wrong, and either way, I will be happy. It is still sort of surreral imagining that by next year we will have a little baby with us and our family of two will now be a family of three. I am sure by the time the baby is born we will both be so excited (and exhausted), we won't have time to think how our lifes will have changed, but just be happy that they have : - ) .

Eye color

This morning as I was reading one of the parenting magazines, it was talking about eye color and how a baby's color will change at 6 months. It also mentioned how the baby's eye color is determined and by which genes, which I found to be very interesting. I googled the eye color genetics and found this really cool website - http://museum.thetech.org/ugenetics/eyeCalc/eyecalculator.html

It allows you to use this online calculator to better figure out what color your baby's eyes will be : - ) , for some reason, I have a strong feeling our baby's eyes will be blue, hehehehe ; - ) , but you never know...right?

Reading more..

I noticed that since I found out that I am going to become a "Pappa", I have started reading more about parenting, babies, and other related articles. Although, I have not yet read the 3 issues of parenting we have at home (sorry about that Laura..), I do enjoy reading this online blogg about a Dad, who is also a journalist for Aftonbladet. His blog gives me quite a bit of insight in a humorous as well as serious way, http://blogg.aftonbladet.se/8.

We also try reading and talking to the baby, studies show that they can hear and understand your voice even while in the womb, which is very interesting. I try to speak Swedish to the little one so that when he/she is here I can start teaching him/her Swedish
